bowling allie children importants night lay low do what police tell you to do how much more difficult does this become given a region talking about a river, swampy forest, trees in this area of maine. >> yeah, maine can be very rural, and if you know the woods you know the area you can find a place, again i think he prepositioned, supplies if going to hang out in woods, he knows woods better than anybody could be a place very familiar with, or, he has that switch car and far, far away. maria: all right. we will keep watching speak with you along the way we appreciate your insights chris from fbi, thank you live now to israel to the ground in maine pardon me fox news correspondent is joining us from lewiston, maine right now. reporter: latest from maine

want to send tied i would without ukraine funding attached senators mike lee ted cruz roger marshall this would give 14.3 billion dollars in aid to i'd to fund iron to come, strips all aid to gaza that hamas could obtain joining me by senator ron johnson member senate homeland security committee good to see i thanks very much for being here tell me about common ground on this idea you know joe biden wants to coupleing everything together >> good morning. the fact of the matter is the support for o israel is almost universal, very strongly bipartisan can pass you know overnight we probably ought to do that combine with anything else controversial bog it down possibility not going through

house recognize that reality. recognize, the -- crisis that israel is in, get them the aid the military support they need, i would also argue you said the humanitarian aid could be obtained by hamas you know it would be. the fact of the matter is hamas planned this stockpiled certainly weapons probably should have stockpiled medicine and find water for citizens as well. my guess is they probably did. if they didn't that is on them but there is no chance of humanitarian supplies getting to innocent plas yindz it is going to be taken over by hamas. maria: what is your reaction to white house response to what has taken place here? >> well, i am not quite sure, they respond to all kinds of things, i am sure they want their hundred-billion-dollar package 13 billion would go to supposedly securing border but that is not what it would be used for it would be used to improve the processing, make

it more efficient of dits perking more illegal immigrants causing greater flow of illegal immigrants there you are package >> we all agree on supporting israel passed as quickly as possible >> partly how we got here the ebb inability to tie iran to any we've watched white house lower sanctions, on iran, enabling iran to general billions in oil revenue many say iran is behind this the "the wall street journal" reported that hamas fighters hamas terrorists trained in iran, the white house was quick yesterday to come out say we have no evidence of that we don't think it is true. >> again white house is fully aware coddling of iran began

big time under obama administration ill revived nuclear agreement they never abandoned that nuclear program, over a hundred billion dollars funneled into largest state sponsor of trr in obama administration the biden administration relaxed sanctions on oil funneling tens of billions of dollars into large state response of terror fund direct hamas, hezbollah people fighting the terror war in yemen as well, that is what is happening here, they've been trying to appease iran all they've done is embolden iran >> in terms of ambassador to israel did president nominee jack lew advanced out of committee every republican on foreign relations committee imperceptible for rand paul opposed jack lew's nomination chuck schumer said he is going

to move to confirm him as soon as possible what are your thoughts >> jack lew has history of advocating for iran coddling iran insult to toils send ambassador from united states to i israel on the side of existential threat that is why republicans voted against has literally populated with some most radical leftists people make no sense jack lew makes no sense as ambassador to israel >> who would you like to see there? >> someone supports israel doesn't support iran, basic there ought to be plenty people very good ambassadors to israel jack lew is not that person. maria: we've been speaking with a lot of house representatives this morning, who say there are getting back to business with new speaker in place iowa senator chuck grassley your colleague sending letter to the fbi

saying his office received modification there were at least 40 confidential sources various criminal matters relating to joe biden, james biden, hunter biden fbi were aware of grassley side that was never followed up in any fbi dismissed it is a foreign disinformation, you have done a lot of reporting studying investigating on hunter biden joe biden james biden influence peddling story what about this. first of all. i recognize ever read senator grassley seven-page letter god bless whistleblowers coming to his office he is a champion of whistleblowers this is showing, pervasive corruption at the highest legals of the fbi not just about administration. this obstruction of justice this obstruction of investigations occurring under the trump administration under attorney general bill barr. again i don't know whether

attorney general barr was aware of it but his underlings were frustrating they had a scheme to downplay not only downplay but to denigrate any >> on00 oun to dissuade us off our investigation corruption deep inside top of the fbi people ought to read that letter we need witnesses coming forward more whistleblowers but individuals that senator grassley lays out need tier interviewed by senator grassley hopefully my office can be involved as well serving the house >> james comer released in other says joe biden received he check for 200,000 dollars directly to him from his brother at a time his brother was being paid by the chinese, where do you expect this investigation to go? >> well we're going to fill in

more pieces of the puzzle chairman comer has done a great job off our foundation senator grassley and i laid out transactions flowing into the accounts of labyrinth forru you you money laundering we need bank records to various familiar members most of all president biden's bank records, we need to know where he has bank accounts in u.s.? some in cayman islands in switzerland who knows that needs to be thoroughly investigated the number of years past administrations fbi thwarted you know legitimate leads prevented agents from investigating joe biden's corruption. and, of course, we also know that this investigation is going to resume within the house what do you want to see, you want to see joe biden records i don't think you will

get hands on that >> it is what investigators, investigators should have already obtained those back in 2019 before joe biden was ever president. again, they were obstructed by higher-ups in have fbi from obtaining those records that that was even under trump administration we've got a real problem of corruption partisan action look how fbi, totally followed leads on completely false narrative of trump with russia they turned back obstructed investigation we keep a spotlight on it thank you >> have a good day. maria: ron johnson in d.c. european central bank leaving rates unchangeed first pause in most aggressive series 6 rate hikes in ecb history we will take a closer look right after this.

futures selling off we are expecting a decline start of trading dow industrials down 123 nasdaq down 129 s&p lower by 28 a full book of earnings to report this morning, and we want o so show interest rate spiking 10-year treasury eel up 1 1/3 basis points level 4.973% european

central bank announced leaving interest rates unchangeded taking a pause, leaving, rates at 4%, happening moments ago, this is first pause, in the most aggressive series of rate hikes in ecb history you look to federal reserve monetary policy meeting next week, where, lots are expecting fd to take another pause joining me right now bank vice chairman keith banks great to see you. >> thank you so much for being here so here we are rates higher another fed meeting next week >> i believe, the fed will pause, in november, but we still think there is a possibility in december or january, you could see 25 basis points depending on again what data looks like, how hot or not so hot it is. but i think november probably a pause maria: i was looking at bank of america survey the other day said that i think 30% people still expect that there will be a recession, coming that things are slowing down

as a result of higher interest rates, we are waiting on first read of gdp, for the third quarter any moment going to be out 3 minutes' time we are expecting a really strong number, expecting growth 4.3%, from the july through september. strong consumption growth as well what are you expecting from gdp? how does this sort of play into expectations for markets >> well, i think the expectations are probably going to prove correct, it is a surprisingly big number when you think about it but there is a couple things going on that continues to drive economic growth number one, you have just said it consumer right consumer has benefited from strong job market i think consumer wealth went up 31 trillion dollars, post-pandemic between, market action, and housing action, so consumer still looking good a lot of cash, that cash is coming down, but right now, it is still manifesting in strong real sales as we all know

government has a lot of money into the economy through fiscal spending driving near-term as we look into 2024 we think going to see a meaningful deceleration in economic growth our economists not forecasting a recession, but they are forecasting growth to go down to about 1% or less at least first half of 2024. so, we should enjoy strong growth right now we do think as you look forward the starts to wane into 2024. maria: part of that impact of higher interest rates the impact of inflation we get 2 september pce index out tomorrow i know that is a favorite of the federal reserve in terms of tracking inflation look i know has come way down from highs you are seal elevated action in essentials food fuel shelter. >> no doubt i think typically consumer, the typically individual is struggling between gasoline prices food prices really, really feeling it. you can start i think going to

start to see that if s december >> headwinds to the range first and foremost rates 10-year broached 5% level, 16-year high there is a lot of concern you said it you know a lot of surveys people still worried about a recession next year. so we've seen big, slowdown in europe, china struggling for a host of reasons, as i said expecting a deceleration in the u.s., the last thing obviously, is geopolitics, ukraine plus now war in mideast keeping the range pretty tight we kind of walked below the low end we have to wait and see what that looks like. maria: so far we haven't seen investors focus or see impact as a result of this unease across the world you think that is about to happen? >> yeah. i think people right now i think what is baked into

markets is the assumption that it will be contained in the middle east, if we see an escalation other actors into the fray like iran or others that is not in markets right now the other thing you brought up, inflation has come down, but still problematic if inflation were 20 start to go the other way, that is not baked in either so wild cards, that could drive the market lower the flip side though is you've got a lot of negative sentiment, the survey that you referenced michael, it is interesting, that survey cash levels move up above 5% but will-bear indicator contrarian, bullish means bearish, negative fee increasedible a significantly looking at 5.75 trillion dollars in money market funds, that is a trillion dollars more than the peak during pandemic, so there is a lot of negativity, and if you were to

get a couple things going 2 right way you could see money into the market this is where i think people believe we can see potentially a rally between now and year-end. maria: you know, we will see if in fact, the cash is used to buy stocks, or they want to go elsewhere with fixed income at 5%. obviously, a main point, the gdp is out went to get to gerri willis. gerri: that is right 4.89% that is first read third quarter gdp surprise upside we expected consensus with 4.3%, you can see that is a big positive number dow continues negative, 4.9% well over twice second quarter gdp, 2.1% first quarter gdp 2% you can see really, strong expansion here mostly due to consumers that you've been talking about, retail sales being, of course, strong looking ining rearview

mirror, there was one stronger forecast out there the atlanta fed gdp now forecast 5.4%, for the quarter this quarter, of course, july to september gdp broadest read on economic growth. wow. . what with a stunner with actual coming in 4.9%, maria. maria: thanks very much markets off lows down 109 antibiotics down 104 on nasdaq, and i am talking with keith banks this morning keith you know when you see a number like this, i know you said probably going to see fed take another pause next week but does this do you think have enough juice to move the fed this could for the following meeting that is december meeting? >> it could well, depends on this is backward-looking right? number one, interesting, big number gerri said wow. 4.9% but i think can say what are indicators for fourth quarter, beyond but some point we need to see a cooling off

of the economy which, we need to see, in our view, a slackening in labor market it is hard to a believe start next cycle unemployment below 4% not have to worry that very quickly you are going to see wages reflective of that, if activity picks up sustainably this is great to see but some point we do need to see cooling if fed is going to stay on sidelined not raise rates more >> moment ago you said that you could see year-end rally what are areas you are reviving clients get in on to participate in that rally >> we like energy, we think if a rally going to probably be led again by large cap tech seeing earnings now so we will see where earnings can sustain that, but we just don't think the markets can move higher yet, until unless technical is a driver >> let me point out 10-year reversed course now down 8/10 of a basis points 4.9% keith

always great to talk with you keith banks joining us. we'll be right back. .

like once israel does perform that ground >> we understand israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu going to get input of war cabinet to try to determine best path forward but disperse some blame for what will taps, remember there is a political aspect to all of this, netanyahu has been immense precious how something could take place what israel to youed most secure border in the entire world there are those questions but also the questions about what will happen to israeli soldiers when they enter gaza, bloody street-to-street urban battles there will be a high amount of israeli casualties if that is large scale ground invasion netanyahu wants to bring in entire war cabinet into decision take advice of the americans that are using their intelligence, on the ground to advise key middle east partner
